Just Walk Away



The "ultimate property", according to some designers, has been unveiled. Its a walking house that they say will provide a perfect solution to beating the floods.

"The property has been built on six hydraulic legs and was designed by art collective N55 in Copenhagen, Denmark, who worked in conjunction with engineers in Massachusetts, U.S". Now I do find this to be a tad bit weird, as I'd probably live in a trailer home than this strange contraption, however, this structure brings something new to the table. It is solar and wind powered and has 'legs' that can walk through all terrains.

Helen Robinson of the Wysing Arts Centre makes a good point in saying that '...this is far more than a caravan. It's all about sustainable living - it can sustain a life for many years. It may seem radical but it could be a solution to land use in the near future.'
